Textile glass - Yarns - Part 1: Designation

This European Standard describes the designation system for yarns based on continuous filament textile glass (single yarns, folded yarns) and excludes textures yarns and yarns based on staple fibre, rovings and pre-impregnated yarns.

Textilglas - Garne - Teil 1: Bezeichnung

Dieser Europäische Norm beschreibt das Bezeichnungssystem für Garne aus Filamenttextilglas (Einfachgarn, gefachtes Garn) und schließt texturierte Garne und Garne aus Stapelfasern, Rovings und vorimprägnierte Garne aus.

Verre textile - Fils - Partie 1: Désignation

Cette norme européenne décrit le système de désignation pour les fils à base de filaments continus en verre textile (fils simples et fils retors) à l'exclusion des fils à base de verranne, les fils texturés, les stratifils et fils pré-imprégnés.

Overview

EN 12654-1:1998 is a European Standard published by CEN that establishes a clear designation system for textile glass yarns. The standard applies to yarns made from continuous filament textile glass, covering both single yarns and folded yarns. It sets out naming and classification principles to ensure consistent identification across manufacturing, specification and quality assurance processes.

Key scope points:

• Applies to continuous filament textile glass yarns (single and folded).
• Excludes textured yarns, yarns based on staple fibre, rovings and pre-impregnated yarns.
• Aligned with ICS sector 59.100.10 for textile glass materials.

Key Topics

This part focuses on the structure and practical use of a designation system rather than on physical test methods. Important topics covered include:

• Designation format and components - how names are constructed to reflect yarn type and characteristics.
• Scope and limitations - clear exclusions that differentiate continuous filament textile glass yarns from other fibre forms.
• Consistency and traceability - principles that support repeatable identification for procurement, production and testing.

The standard is intended to harmonize terminology and reduce ambiguity when specifying textile glass yarns in technical documents and orders.

Applications

EN 12654-1:1998 has practical value across the supply chain and in technical documentation:

• Manufacturers: use the designation system to label products and maintain consistent product lines.
• Specifiers and designers: reference standardized designations in specifications, tender documents and material selection.
• Quality control and inspection: ensure the correct yarn type is received and tested by matching standardized identifiers.
• Procurement and logistics: streamline ordering and inventory management with unambiguous yarn names.

Key benefits:

• Improved communication between suppliers and buyers
• Reduced risk of specification errors
• Better traceability for production and quality records

Related Standards

EN 12654-1:1998 should be used in conjunction with other standards and guidance relevant to textile glass materials. Consider cross-referencing:

• CEN standards covering textile glass materials and their classification
• Standards and technical documents addressing manufacturing, testing and handling of glass fibre products

For implementers, confirm any national or industry-specific adaptations and consult the relevant CEN publications for updates or later parts of the EN 12654 series.

For more detailed application guidance, organizations typically combine the designation rules in EN 12654-1:1998 with material specifications and test standards used in their sector (composite manufacture, textiles, insulation and industrial applications).
